====== Infectious Diseases Institute ====== {{ ::infectious_diseases_institute_logo_.jpg?200|}} The **Infectious Disease Institute (IDI)** is an African not-for-profit organization based in [[uganda:Kampala]], [[Uganda]]. It operates within [[Makere University]]. ===== History ===== IDI was conceived in 2001 by [[Merle Sande]], [[Makerere University School of Medicine]] Dean [[Nelson Sewankambo]] and [[pharmaceutical _companies:Pfizer]] CEO [[Hank McKinnell]].((Ronald, A., Kamya, M., Katabira, E., Scheld, W. M., & Sewankambo, N. (2011). //The Infectious Diseases Institute at Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda.// Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 25(2), 369–383. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.idc.2011.02.007)) It was formally founded in 2002.((//Background.// Infectious Diseases Institute. Retrieved May 17, 2023, from http://archive.today/2023.05.17-071738/https://idi.mak.ac.ug/who-we-are/about/)) [[Merle Sande]] founded the [[Academic Alliance for AIDS Care and Prevention in Africa]] (AA) in 2003. Pfizer contributed early funding to build the facility and its programs with the [[Pangaea Global AIDS Foundation]] as an intermediary, as selected by Pfizer and the Academic Alliance Foundation.((//Startup Programs.// Pangaea Global AIDS Foundation. Retrieved August 11, 2002, from http://archive.today/2002.08.11-080145/http://www.pgaf.org/programs.html)) In 2005, the joint [[Makerere University]]-[[Johns Hopkins University]] (MU-JHU) laboratory moved to the IDI. The [[Infectious Diseases Society of America]] (IDSA) recruited trainers from within their ranks and through their website. In 2008, the Academic Alliance Foundation was renamed the [[Accordia Global Health Foundation]], and oversaw the "growth and development of IDI as a center of excellence." In October 2015, IDI was awarded a five-year grant from the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC) to advance the [[Global Health Security Agenda]] (GHSA) in Uganda. This resulted in the establishment of the [[Biosafety and Biosecurity Association Uganda]] (BBAU). On November 17, 2015, the [[Ugandan Academy for Health Innovation and Impact]] was inaugurated at the IDI McKinnell Knowledge Centre at Makerere University as a partnership between [[pharmaceutical_companies:Johnson & Johnson]], [[pharmaceutical_companies:Janssen]], the [[Ministry of Health of Uganda]] and IDI.((//Annual Report July 2015-June 2016.// Infectious Diseases Institute.
